On June 27, 1916 Boston’s Babe Ruth allows two runs in the first inning, but settles down to beat the A’s, 7 – 2, while striking out 10. Red Sox infielder Larry Gardner is caught stealing three times, the second time this year that A’s catchers have caught a baserunner three times (the other was New York’s Fritz Maisel, on April 26). On June 29th, Lee Magee will be caught three times by the A’s while trying to steal, and not until Rickey Henderson, in 1982, will an American League runner be again cut down thrice in a game.
